Works with Kodi and SPMC, but SPMC is kept more up to date than Kodi on Android TV.

Easy to install.

Thanks. I just started reading your link. This might explain why the watched status of some of your titles are correct:"Instant watched state/resume status sync: This is a 2-way synchronisation. Any watched state or resume status will be instantly (within seconds) reflected to or from Kodi and the server".

Maybe SPMC kept track of the titles that you previously watched on SPMC. When the status of those titles didn't match the status on your new server install it changed the watched status for those titles on the Plex server.

That all made sense in my head. I hope you can understand what I just said.

I am looking at status in Plex client and Plex website, not in SPMC or Kodi. SPMC/Kodi are still messed up, or were last time I looked. I am concerned only with what Plex thinks right now.

Right. I understand you have other priorities. I'm just saying PKC could have changed the watched status of some of your titles on the new Plex server the first time it synced. If SPMC keeps track of your watched status, and that doesn't match the watched status on the new Plex server, PKC will change the watched status on the Plex server, right?

I see you are doing the same thing as me. I record from HDHR, but watch through Plex - or in my case when local I use SPMC with the Plex add-on to pull from the Plex server.

I assume you can't use HDHR to record 'copy protected' TV shows and play it back via Plex?

I bought two HDHR 3 tuner units for Cablecard use, but haven't tried to set it up yet. My 'theory' was to use those devices instead of my cable boxes at each tv... so, still subscribe to cable service, but not have all the boxes/DVR stuff. I believe my local cable provider content is 100% 'copy protected', and thought there were still DRM issues with the HDHR 'kick starter'...

I started using Plex from a 2013 Macbook Pro w/ Retina Display into a 75'' Vizio P Series. After reading a guide online I turned off features like Direct Play/Direct stream, etc, however...

There's a very visible degradation in PQ from playing an MKV via HDMI from my MBPw/R and casting from Plex. Streaming quality is "original." There's slight banding in dark scenes over Plex... there's a lot of noise in the image and details are softer and washed out. This seems unusual based on comments I've read online. What am I doing wrong?

Ok,hello people of avs I have flex server and stream to a samsung ks9000 via flex app. Everything works fine until I try to stream a 4k movie especially the larger ones is this due to the writing space as described before in this thread? If so will have to figure that out cause haven't dug that deepen the server to understand fully on how to achieve this. Thanks in advance!!!

Assuming you really typed "Plex" but auto-correct changed it to "flex", yes, check the free space on the drive that contains your transcode folder. Open Plex in a browser and click the settings icon at the top. Click on Server, then Transcoder in the left column and you should see where the transcoder temporary directory is located.

Yes I typed Plex lol, and thanks. Do i just point it towards the drive letter?

I would create a separate folder on the other drive and point Plex to that new folder. Mine is currently in C:\Plex Transcoder. If my C drive started running low on disc space I would create a new folder and name it "Plex Transcoder" on my D drive, then point Plex to D:\Plex Transcoder.

Was it ever broken? I haven't had any issues with any of the recent versions, including the latest.

According to this post, yes.

Several people are complaining about it on the Plex forum, but as of yet nobody from Plex has ack'd the problem or even responded at all.

Yes, it was broken for some. There are posts about it on the Plex forum. But, they never answered any of our questions, and there hasn't been an update since then. I'm not upgrading again. Besides, why upgrade, what's the rush, is something broken you need fixed, or is there some new feature you just MUST have in the new version?

So I created a folder on my almost empty drive for transcoding and the 4K still stutters so is my pc to slow? Its an AMD 8core with 16G of ram.

Couple of things - Is it using that folder? You need to point it there and restart the server.
Also what are you playing it on? Usually stuttering issues are audio issues not video. Are you using Direct Play? Does the device support the direct play options? Some devices are not able to keep up with the bit-rate. How is the player / playing device connected? Wired / Wireless? Does it happen on all devices?

Good point on restarting it, actually just restarted it will try in the a.m. The device is a brand new ks9000 samsung TV and all hardwires cat6 How exactly can I tell if its using it, plus direct play should work cause I can put the same file on a HDD and it works fine.

If you are playing a file that needs transcoding then you will see a temp file created in that folder. Just play a file and browse to the folder and hit refresh. If you are doing direct playback then it won't need that folder.

I used to run an AMD X6 1090T. It couldn't keep up. Another source of stuttering I had was a bad NIC. A bad hard drive will cause stuttering, too. My current Plex server used to run on 6G of RAM, so 16G is plenty, if not overkill.
